Hi Joann and Eric! This is my first time commenting although I watched all your videos since I discovered your channel. I LOVE how much fun you have making your crafts and recording. Please don't stop making "long" videos because 100% they don't feel long at all! Blessings to your family, keep the vids coming! :)

[@joannbarrandey]

Thank you Laura, you are so sweet Friend and yes new video coming this week. Have a blessed day!!

[@Photobombin]

Thank you for commenting Laura. I know how that goes, there are channels I've watched for years and never commented on because I think it will go unread. I always try and address everyone that reaches out. In the beginning I just wanted my mom to make these videos for her so she could have essentially a video journal of her work that she has been doing for so long but now seeing the impact it's having on other people has made me care more about the person on the other side of the screen feeling as if they are a part of it and being able to have interactions such as this just makes it so much more meaningful. So thank you for watching and thank you for your kindness!

[@martaalvarado4631]

My first time also love it and both of you.

[@ionaward6371]

I’m so sorry you had to deal with someone being rude to you. I Agree some of us are on a budget. We craft because we love it.

[@joannbarrandey]

Thank you Iona, appreciate you Friend and thanks for watching!! Have a great day!!

[@rhondalane8011]

OMG JoAnn and Eric you two are so entertaining! This craft is so adorable, can't wait to try it!! I am gonna be using my $1 spackling 😂 as well. Can't wait to see all your upcoming projects and your production hiccups 😂

[@joannbarrandey]

Hello Sweet Friend, Thanks for your support!! I added white paint to the spackling and a few drops of water when I made my first Santa and it went on so smooth. Have a great day!!

[@Photobombin]

Thanks Rhonda, always happy to make other people smile. Good luck with your $1 spackle I'm sure it will be just fine.

[@susieedwards5579]

I'm Loving y'all guys. I watch y'all to cheer me up! Love Erick! Your house is beautiful. Thank you both

[@joannbarrandey]

Thank you Friend, appreciate you!! If you use the spackling from DT be sure to add white paint and add a few drops of water and it should come out smooth. I also for got to mention that I was using a decorator bag and tip from the DT. Love and Hugs Friend!!

[@Photobombin]

Hi Rooster. I appreciate the greetings!

[@lindabeard7035]

Each time I watch you and Erick, I think you can't make anything better than you've already done but each time I'm wrong. You're like fine wine. You just keep getting better and better at your crafts. Mr & Mrs Claus are so cute!

Hello Taresa, Thanks for watching, appreciate you Friend!! You are so correct, thank you for your kind words. Have a blessed day!!

[@Ashelina]

I love you and your creativity 🥰. Please do not let anyone’s opinion bother you. You are correct, not everyone can afford expensive crafts and you show that you can make beautiful things out of inexpensive supplies.

Here on the West Coast we don’t have all those $$ stores. We have a Dollar Store only. Besides, it doesn’t pay to run all over to all those $$ stores. You spend you savings putting gas in your car.

[@joannbarrandey]

Hi Gloria, Thanks for watching Friend, appreciate you!! You are so correct about wasting time and gas. I'm so lucky that Dollar General and Family Dollar are here in town next to the Grocery store where I shop. Dollar Tree is in a town next door, right next to Hobby Lobby. Have a great day!!

[@shabbychicdew]

Hi Joann! I was so surprised to hear where you live. Are you talking about Alverado Texas? We lived in Arlington until we bought a magna home and property in the Homesteads Alverado, Texas. We left in 1988 there was a church called The first Baptist Church of the Homesteads. I wonder if it's still there? Anyway I love your projects and video, GREAT STUFF! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@joannbarrandey]

Hello Friend, Thanks for watching, appreciate you!! Yes, I live in Alvarado, Texas south of Ft. Worth. I'm not sure about the Church, of course I live out in the country and barely discovered the other day that there are 2 parts to the town, Old and New.

[@cindycox6457]

Hi Joann! Hi Eric! I love seeing all your crafts on a budget! They're amazing! I was wondering if you could make us an elf and a reindeer? Looking so forward to seeing your next crafting project!! Much love to you and your son! Cindy Cox

[@joannbarrandey]

Hello Cindy, Thanks for watching, we appreciate you Friend. Yes, there is a cute Elf coming up soon. Happy Monday!!

[@Photobombin]

Hi Cindy!

[@peepthisyall]

JoAnn....this is SO CUTE!! You can add a tiny bit of water or some more white paint to the spackle to thin it out so it is easier to use. You're welcome Erick! Luv you guys!! ;)

[@joannbarrandey]

Hey my sweet Friend, Yes, that's what I did when I made my sample one and it worked great. Can you believe a viewer told me that she was upset cause I was telling everyone to use spackling from the DT and that it was cheap, junk, LOL!! She said she got hers at Menard, like I know where that's at?? LOL!! She did not have a channel either for me to compare my work with hers. OMG!! You can't make this stuff up, LOL!!

[@peepthisyall]

@@joannbarrandey Don't you hate when they negatively comment then you go on their page and they have NOTHING! I just dismiss them! :/

[@thebunkerwoodworks]

JoAnn, once again you did an AMAZING job! I definitely can't wait to make these! Quick question, would you be able to make a short video on the stuff you have purchased from Dollar Tree (or any other store) for your Christmas crafts? The reason I'm asking is so we too can look for some of these items before the sell out at Dollar Tree! It would be very helpful. Thanks again for the very crafty Santa and Mrs. Claus!! Take care and stay safe. 🥰 ~ Tanya

[@Photobombin]

I am headed over tomorrow to film a video on the next craft and she will show that although she may comment on here and tell you as well. We were suppose to do it at the end of this video but we took so long and batteries were dying.

[@joannbarrandey]

Hello My Sweet Friends, Thanks for your continued support, appreciate y'all!! I will be using a snowman, reindeer and Santa Shelf I bought at Family Dollar for $1 each. At Dollar General I bought several mason jars with the Christmas decorated lids for $1 each. At Dollar Tree I bought several candle holders and some shred in Christmas colors and a box of small candy canes and peppermints.

[@janicedeford2346]

These are so cute! Love the videos, you two are great! Love the Facebook page too! So much talent and everyone is so supportive! Love it! ♥️🎄 Thanks! There is no such thing as too much glitter!!! 😂

[@joannbarrandey]

Thank you Janice, appreciate you Friend, sparkle and shine!!

[@Photobombin]

Hi Janice! Always great to start familiarizing myself with people that comment on here and that are on the FB group page. We have been so lucky to have such a wonderful community of people. I agree on the glitter I think my mom needs to make a shirt with that qoute haha.

[@ldoiron18]

These are adorable, will be making some of these. Not sure how much to charge for them at a craft fair, any suggestions?

[@joannbarrandey]

Hello Leah, Thanks for watching Friend, appreciate you!! At a craft fair I would consider the area and also how much you pay for your booth fee. ln my area for example at my church craft fair I would see them for $10 each but at a craft fair in Ft. Worth or Dallas like Cow Town Christmas, I would price for more.

[@staciflanagan1379]

If you store your puffy 3D fabric paints upside down and write the color on the bottom, you won’t get the bubbles that cause the spitting. Leave them with the lid facing down at all times in a bucket or carry container from dollar tree.

[@joannbarrandey]

Hello Sweet Friend, Thanks for watching, appreciate you Melissa!! I will have a video this week on cute inexpensive gift ideas, I think we are all on a budget this year.

[@Photobombin]

Thank you for the love Melissa. I often end up in the same boat when it comes to financial choices and with prices going up and shortages of items it's definitely going to be a creative Christmas when it comes to gifts this year. Honestly just finding the time is hard enough. I don't necessarily do crafts but for years I've done a lot of woodworking and metal work. Either restoring things or making stuff from scratch is super enjoyable to me so I completely understand crafting. The most important thing is that you have someone to make things for and that's the most enjoyable thing about it. I am happy that you get something out of our videos. If you're not on our Facebook Group page it's in the description. There are so many awesome people sharing their creations and ideas, it's a good healthy outlet.

Hello Lourdes, Thanks for watching, appreciate you Friend. Due to the move, I was not able to craft any more fall crafts, maybe next year.

[@venitabrowning9841]

Hi joAnn love the project you do with the foam board how can I get the pattern and stencils I'm not a good artist in drawing

[@joannbarrandey]

Hello Venita, Thanks for watching, appreciate you Friend!! The pattern and stencil pattern are included in the description of the video, click on pattern link. Let me know if you need help.

[@tinacluff2793]

Carbon paper works great, then all I'd have to do is trace your stincel and I'm good to go.

[@joannbarrandey]

Thanks for watching Tina, appreciate you Friend and Happy Crafting!!

These faces are amazing! I just love how the beard and hair came out!! I so want to try this because I want to have them but you make it look easy. I don't think it is! But I will give it a go because they are so adorable! Thank you for this video amidst you moving and the upcoming holidays too! You and Eric make such a great pair. He really zooms in on the detail and that makes all the difference! I can't imagine what you could come up with next? Maybe a Christmas elf??

[@Photobombin]

Thank you so much Carmela! It's nice to be able to really see what's going on and zooming in is the closest thing I can do to being there in person. She has a whole list of ideas and I don't even know what's all going on in that ladies head haha. I will be going over tomorrow to film a video with some candy jars she is making similar to last years but modified with newer stuff. I'll try and get it out either the same day or by Tuesday.

[@joannbarrandey]

Hello Carmela, There is a cute Christmas Elf in the lineup, I can't wait to show you!! Thanks for watching, appreciate you Friend!!

Take a bit of water on your finger and smooth your sparkling it would help.

Hi!!! I love the videos and Eric picking on mama...Can I share a tip. Use carbon paper to trace to your objects like the foam. I think that will work

[@joannbarrandey]

Hello Friend, Thanks for watching, appreciate you and thanks for that tip, I am going to try it. Happy Crafting!!

[@christinahines1221]

These are adorable I love watching you and your son I am not that crafty and do not own a computer or a printer so I cant do some but me and my 6 year old still love to watch. Thank you for your wonderful spirit.

[@joannbarrandey]

Hi Sweet Friend, You know if there is a pattern you need just send me an email and include your address and I will be more than glad to mail it to you. Thanks for watching, appreciate you and have a blessed day.

[@Photobombin]

Thank you for your kindness Christina. I can definitely see the challenges of not having access to those amenities. Don't let that stop you from exploring creativity with you and your child. I always found myself being more creative when I have less to work with and also my mom said she would mail you some patterns if you want them. We love seeing people create.

[@possumclovett1549]

Hi JoAnn love your santa and Mrs Claus they are so cute love and hugs possum

[@joannbarrandey]

Hello Sweet Friend, Thanks for your continued support. I have not forgotten about your Mummy, I'm working on something else to include with your package. Will try and mail out to you this week. I will email you the tracking number once it's mailed. Have a good evening!!

[@Photobombin]

Thank you as always Nancy. I am so happy to have entertained in this video hahaha.

[@joannbarrandey]

Hi Nancy, thanks for your love and support Sweet Friend, appreciate you so much!!

[@maryannsalas7839]

OMGosh! Absolutely LOVE your videos!! JoAnn and Erick, the 2 of you make crafting so much more fun. My mother had me bring up your channel on her phone so she could subscribe, and she doesn't craft 🤣🤣! She was with me when i was watching one of your videos and she said, "put them on my phone! They are a good team and they are funny. And she makes cute things." She now looks for your videos everyday. Thank you guys for sharing your talent. Erick your work behind the camera is amazing. I watch a lot of crafting videos and most people don't have a good close up shot of what they are doing so if you're recreating their project your kinda left winging it in hopes of it actually working out. Thank you dear sir for making sure we get a clear shot!

[@Photobombin]

HAHA that is too awesome! Tell your mom that we appreciate her and i'm happy to entertain. I try to give people as much detail as possible so thank you Mary!

[@joannbarrandey]

Thank you Mary for all your love and support, appreciate you Friend!! Lots of Love and hugs to you and your Mom!! Happy Monday!!

[@marycervantes3206]

I seen another crafter used modepodge first and then painted, she said , you use less paint that way

[@joannbarrandey]

Hi Mary, I tried that Friend and I really could not tell a difference. Maybe I should give it another try, thanks for the tip sweet Friend!!

[@debwymer5373]

I love to watch you and Eric,you are so funny. I really like these Mr and Mrs Santa Clause.Where did you find the big foam piece?It would be really nice if more Moms and Son’s got along like y’all. I just love watching y’all,you make my day.You’re Apron is so cute.

[@joannbarrandey]

Thank you Deb for your love and support, appreciate you!! Yes, I get along so well with Erick now that he's not a teenager, LOL!! He's a great Son!! I buy my big pieces of styrofoam at Walmart. You get a big piece for just under $5. I love seasonal aprons and most of mine have been gifts from family and friends that I've had for years. Have a great day!!

[@Photobombin]

Thank you Deb!

[@kathielightfoot1380]

These are adorable!! I just love them!! Did you know Dollar tree now owns family dollar? May I ask where you got your stencil brushes? They’re really nice. I bought a tub of spackle from Home Depot and you actually pay more per ounce than DT spackle and it works the same. There’s No difference for the crafts we do. Thank you once again Joann for sharing you ideas, how to’s and creativity!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@joannbarrandey]

Hi Kathie, Thanks for watching, appreciate you Friend!! I wondered why Family Dollar has some of the exact items Dollar Tree has. I have had my stencil brushes for a very long time. I did have to get a couple of new ones at Hobby Lobby. Friend, thanks for the tip on the spackle. Have a great day!!

[@Photobombin]

Good to know, thanks Kathie!
